This full-featured Micro Four Thirds System standard interchangeable
lens camera features durable dustproof and splashproof performance, with
freezeproof protection to -10°C ideal for those with an action-packed
lifestyle, allowing worry-free photography in harsh environments that
many other cameras cannot endure. This powerful, yet portable, camera
body is equipped with expanded features to further inspire creative
shooting, including computational photography features such as 50MP
Handheld High Res Shot and Live ND, as well as support for vertical
video playback on smartphones.

The powerful in-body 5-axis image stabilisation paired with compact,
lightweight M.Zuiko Digital lenses deliver outstanding image quality in a
highly mobile interchangeable lens camera, making it the ultimate
outdoor adventure camera. The OM-5 is ready to capture stunning images
anytime, anywhere, in any environment.

The OM SYSTEM OM-5 packs 5-axis Image Stabilisation into a compact body
that measures 125.3 x 85.2 x 49.7 mm (WHD) and weighs 366 g (camera body
only). It delivers up to 6.5 shutter speed steps2 of image
stabilization, which, when combined with a compatible lens3, expands to
7.5 steps4 thanks to 5-axis sync IS. Powerful image stabilisation
enables shooting with slow shutter speed effects in areas where a tripod
cannot be used, making it the perfect companion for photo opportunities
while travelling. Thanks to the inclusion of the renowned 20.37 million
effective pixel5 Live MOS sensor and the high-performance TruePic IX
image processing engine, this model delivers natural gradations in
images with minimal noise and high image quality even at
high-sensitivity settings.

The OM-5 is equipped with a 121-point all cross-type On-chip Phase
Detection AF sensor for focusing on various locations across the frame
for greater freedom over framing and high-precision focusing. Starry Sky
AF delivers high precision auto focusing for easy astrophotography,
something that was previously considered difficult.

The OM SYSTEM OM-5 is equipped with sealing throughout, delivering IP531
protection class dustproof and splashproof performance with freezeproof
protection to -10°C, the same high level of weather resistance as the
OM SYSTEM OM-1 flagship model. Thanks to this design, users can focus on
photo opportunities even in punishing conditions without worrying about
ruining their equipment due to sudden rain showers, snow, or water
droplets. The camera is also equipped with the SSWF (Supersonic Wave
Filter), which significantly reduces issues with dust and dirt on the
image sensor when changing lenses, making this an excellent model for
active shooting and peace of mind for those who need to change lenses
outdoors. The compact BLS-50 battery is used in this model, and the
bundled USB-AC adapter can be used to charge the battery in the camera.

Computational photography features allow users to easily capture photos
that generally require special equipment or image editing software. The
OM SYSTEM OM-5 is packed with convenient, versatile computational
photography features that provide further inspiration for creative
shooting, such as High Res Shot and Live ND.

This model supports Handheld High-Res Shot, which merges multiple images
to create approximately 50 Megapixel high-resolution images. With this
feature, users can enjoy hand-held shooting from nearly any angle while
capturing high-resolution images. Merging multiple images not only
improves resolution, but also minimizes noise. The popular Tripod
High-Res Shot is also included on this model.

Achieve slow shutter speed effects like those using ND filter up to ND16
(4 shutter speed steps). This feature delivers slow shutter speed
effects even on ultra-wide-angle lenses that cannot accommodate an ND
filter, and the effects can be viewed before capturing the photo using
the viewfinder or on the LCD monitor when LV Simulation is activated.

Pro Capture begins recording once the shutter button is pressed halfway
and records previous frames beginning with the moment when the shutter
button is pressed fully, ensuring users never miss moments due to human
reaction and camera operation time lag. With high-speed sequential
shooting up to 30 fps (AF/AE locked), up to 14 previous frames can be
captured.

Focus Stacking3 captures eight shots at different focal positions and
automatically generates a single image so users can incorporate
background defocusing effects without excessively stopping down the
aperture for control over the depth of field that matches the subject.
This feature is useful for macro shooting.

With this feature, users can easily capture beautiful, varied shots
while watching the image build on the Live View screen, even in
situations where exposure control is difficult, such as when shooting a
city against a starry sky.

Just as if shooting with a shift lens, users can view effects in the
Live View screen, while using vertical/horizontal simultaneous
trapezoidal compensation and perspective enhancement.

Other features include Live Bulb, Interval Shooting/Time Lapse Movie,
Focus Bracketing, HDR, Color Creator, Art Filter, and Fisheye
Compensation.High-quality 4K hand-held video recording and vertical video.

The powerful in-body 5-axis image stabilization on the OM SYSTEM OM-5 is
also compatible with video recording. When combined with the dedicated
video electronic stabilization, it enables stable, hand-held 4K
recording with no time limits. The camera utilizes On-chip Phase
Detection AF sensor information for video focusing control to deliver
smooth focusing that matches the characteristics of videos. OM-Log is
supported for a greater level of freedom over editing thanks to color
grading, which allows users to capture highlights and shadows without
overexposing or underexposing shots. Vertical video is also supported on
this model; videos recorded in vertical orientation on the camera are
saved as vertical files, making them easy to post on social media
without the need for special editing software. Users can also connect6
the high-res LS-P5 linear PCM recorder to capture high-quality audio
while recording videos and the Slate Tone feature is available for easy
audio data synchronization while editing videos.

Supports UVC (USB Video Class)/UAC (USB Audio Class) for use as a
high-quality web camera simply by connecting it to a computer via USB.
Equipped with AF Target mode which offers freedom over AF areas
depending on subject movement and position, with selection of any odd
number of points from 11 vertical and 11 horizontal points. Select from
three levels of vertical and horizontal AF area movement steps.
Equipped with exposure equalization processing for coping with sudden
changes in exposure between frames during interval shooting.
